strategic marketing & communications 

Stop waving at your stories.

Give people a reason to care about your brand.

I help businesses make sense of what they know, find the story worth telling, and turn it into communication that moves people.

THE PROBLEM

Businesses never run out of things to say.

They have ideas, expertise, stories, products and years of experience. But often it's all disconnected. The work is finding the thread.

That's where I come in.

what i do

Strategy

  • Audits and assessment (content, channels, digital presence)
  • Marketing & Digital strategy
  • Alignment between marketing, communication and sales
  • Team structure, rhythm and ways of working

When the business needs clarity, direction or a better way of connecting the pieces.

Narrative

  • Brand narrative and positioning
  • Content strategy and territories
  • Editorial direction
  • Digital PR
  • Leadership narrative 
  • Campaign concepts

When there’s something valuable to say, but no clear story connecting it all.

Communication

  • Editorial content and website
  • Executive communication and thought leadership
  • Employee Advocacy
  • Workshops and training

When strategy needs to become something people can actually see, read, share or act on.

You might need me if...

Things are happening, but they are not connecting.

The business has expertise, but the message is unclear.

There is plenty of activity, but no clear direction.

You need experienced strategic thinking without adding another full-time role.

You're not buying a deliverable. You're bringing in an experienced strategic mind to figure out what needs to be made, and then help make it happen.

WAYS OF WORKING

There is no standard engagement.

I work project-based or on retainer, depending on what the business needs.

Project-based. For a defined challenge, strategy, launch or piece of work.

Retainer. For businesses that need an experienced strategic partner in the room over time.

Before marketing, there were stories.

Hi, I'm Susana Gomes. I live by the sea, so I surf whenever the ocean allows it.

  

I started my career in journalism, long before marketing became the job. Since then, I've worked across communications, PR and digital marketing helping businesses turn ideas, expertise and opportunities into stories worth sharing.

I tend to walk into something tangled and see where it wants to go. I connect the dots, find the story and work out what needs to happen next.
